Food is amazing. We had the sea bass and some incredible sushi rolls. Cocktails were also delicious. The only negative is the booths are not great for your back as they offer no lumbar support at all. Everything else was fantastic.

Lovely setting and really appreciated seating request at window. Glad we were away from lively (ie noisy) bar area. Food was very good and I loved the anchovies I asked to be added to the excellent Caesar salad. Service was attentive after a bit of a slow start. Good choice for special occasions or to treat visitors to a historical venue.

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We started with the octopus and the caviar. While the octopus was decent, it was slightly overcooked and just okay. In our opinion, the Little Door Caviar was the standout starter—its flavor was far superior. For mains, the Branzino was perfection—crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and soft on the inside. The ribeye was equally fantastic, cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. We finished the meal with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect dessert—smooth, creamy, and with a perfectly caramelized top. The service was impeccable, making the evening truly special. We celebrated my friend’s birthday, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!

Everything was really good. The appetizers and entrée were delicious. The only thing was the services a little too. We needed to wave a server down to get a water refill. I don’t know if it was due to the holidays or what, but overall was very nice.
